xp lexyeah, I found that very odd. Everyone reads the NYT, no?
― elephant rob, Friday, 6 August 2010 20:06 (thirteen years ago) link
he is just totally shameless and letting it all out in what seems like a pretty deep and weirdly emotional & honest public diary
yeah i was wondering how to put this, but it really reminds me of those people who assumed the internet was a "private" place and would put all manner of TMI/shameful shit out there, and whose IRL/internet crossover was basically nil, which is the case for so few people now and surely not him?

I'm not convinced that he *only* reads Pfork
feel somewhat obligated to point out that you introduced the concept of him exclusively reading Pitchfork in your rebuttal of the idea that that is all he reads and that the incredibly loltastic paragraph about him being afraid a 500 page book is going to give him adult-onset scoliosis conclusively proves he reads other things

i'm pretty sure that he reads, like, the village voice and shit -- not that crazy of an idea

ilxor, only reading music sites or books somehow related to music does not a well-rounded reading list make.
that and stronghulkingtonsghost, yes this is the way it's going to be. which makes me want to puke/

THAT'S WHAT HAS BEEN TOLD TO HIM HIS ENTIRE FUCKING PATHETIC EXISTENCE.

someone should tell him, though, that he doesn't want to become permanently known as "dude who spends all his time thinking and writing about one indie music website."
Ian Cohen’s Teflon Don review is precluded from being revelatory because so much quality stuff has been written about Teflon Don already, but it is a fantastic synthesis of the discussion about the record and it’s written succinctly and intuitively.

What's to say he isn't already posting here under some random name, and not in this thread?
― ilxor has truly been got at and become an ILXor (ilxor), Friday, 6 August 2010 20:49 (thirteen years ago) link
because if he were he'd be all "hey guys I'm the PRR dude what's up!"

imo "writes like his age" shouldn't be an excuse or explanation applied to anyone over, like, 20 -- if you're an adult you should write like an adult, after a certain point precocious naif shit is either an act or just plain sad.

i mean, kind of arbitrary dont u think? the vitriol from actual adults in this thread is silly. i mean, i think hes a lame writer & the times coverage is super-LOL. but like, all this nonsense about breaking dudes legs for being a not-good 22 yr old writer with a blog is kinda silly

ilxor, are you saying something?
― Daniel, Esq., Friday, 6 August 2010 23:57 (thirteen years ago) link
i think you're saying something!
If I even had the free time to write huge, sprawling blog entries about Pitchfork every day, then I'd spend that time doing something else... hah.

Hahaha I've seen other blogs devoted to writing about other people's record reviews that are far scarier and more batshit than this guy's.
― spicy racist sauces (Matos W.K.), Saturday, 7 August 2010 04:08 (thirteen years ago) link
Did anyone here ever read that "Stop Loving Everything" blog? I don't think it really gets updated much anymore. That wasn't explicitly about Pitchfork but that guy spent a LOT of time being snarky about pfork / obsessing about Pitchfork in order to be snarky about it. For whatever it's worth, PRR is more engaging.
― scott pgwp (pgwp), Saturday, 7 August 2010 04:55 (thirteen years ago) link
My sense is that the guy started in a purely earnest place, but once he got a ton of followers and was written up on the Observer, Post, and Times, he started playing up his own schtick. It's not "purely" earnest any more. Like, he's in his Neon Bible phase.

I can imagine attending that would be a little more edifying, and a little less creepy and awkward, then the time my friend & I went to a John Birch Society meeting, but only just barely.

The only thing worse than obsessively reviewing everything Pitchfork does is obsessively trying to predict what Pitchfork will do.
